Goodwill changes lives every day by empowering people to increase their independence and reach their potential through education, health and employment.

When people hear “Goodwill,” they often think of our retail stores, but did you adults could earn a diploma at one of our high schools? Are you familiar with our nurse home visitation program for first-time moms? Goodwill is a lot more than a thrift store.
